Pros

John Wiley & Sons is the oldest publishing company in America and yet has one of the youngest, most progressive companies in existance. It is a very flat orgainzation which allows those from the farthest reaches from the company's headquarters in Hoboken, NJ to be on a first-name basis with everyone all the way to the top of the organization. All publishing companies are going through a change from traditional delivery of written conent to digital delivery and while that may not seem that complicated, it is when keeping intelectual material copywrited and secured. At Wiley, the culture allows this conversion to be adaptable. Employee relations are also important at Wiley. Everyone is encouraged to succeed. If you run into trouble, then management is there to help. Pay and benefits are average, but it is definitely a great place to work.

Cons

Career advancement can sometimes be stifeled if you are not a recent college graduate. Not because of discrimination, only because the pay scale isn't always there.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits for publishing.

Cons

Once of the most toxic work environments I've ever worked at. Upper management tears editors down if you are not a favorite. Favorites are chosen by metrics that do not exist, and are subjective and arbitrary. Wiley is losing money because brilliant, young editors leave due to no support and toxic work environments. Wiley Trade is essentially a hybrid publisher. Author's put a lot of money into their book -- too much. There is very very little marketing and publicity support for authors. But they brand as more than there actually is. All in all a very sad place to work and sad for authors.
